Cha_ngo, do you ever get over to Yakima? If so, check out Ms. D's barbecue. The best fried Okra I've had this side of the Mississippi! Also great Jambalaya and of course...barbecue.

No, I haven't made it down there. I am thinking of a road trip down to Puterbaugh Farms (hops direct) around harvest time though. I think that would be pretty cool. If I go, I'll be sure to check out the BBQ. Thanks for the tip.

Great recipe, even though I would have no idea what to do with that much gumbo. Sure I could freeze some, but it would be a little like barley wines, I'd be working on it months later. Sadly, some foods cannot be made in small amounts.
